I've been making gingerbread houses ever since I was a little kid and it is one of my favorite Christmas traditions that was started by my grandma! ❤️💚 Comment down below your favorite holiday traditions!! 👇🏻

[@jfftam]

Thank YOU! for the best video on how to manage isomalt easily. Watched so many videos, but none said how much water to add or how long to heat. Most did it on the stove. But, your method of a small amount in a glass measuring cup is better. I love the results! 😊

[@BrittneeKay]

You are so welcome! I'm so glad you liked it! Thank you for the comment! 🥰

Exquisite white quilting 🤤

That is the cutest, classiest little gingerbread house I've seen. Many of them go big and complex to impress, but this is just a little gem of super-finicky perfection. Beautiful!

where can I find those tiny little round balls that you put on your roof and wreaths? thank you. so cute and so neat

[@BrittneeKay]

Search edible silver or gold draftees on Amazon or check Michael’s or any local baking store to you! Those places all should have them!

[@glasshalffull2930]

Instead of Isomalt, I just use Jolly Rancher candies. Different colors for different windows. After gingerbread is baked, put it back in hot oven with candies sitting in window opening. Takes a couple of minutes.

[@BrittneeKay]

Yes! This is a great method! :)

[@user-yq6lp6dv5m]

Our gingerbread houses look somewhat more chaotic and wild, but maybe this year up the game with this technique! Can I use parchment paper, sprayed with oil, instead of the silicone mat?

[@BrittneeKay]

Hehe yeah give it a try! It’s easy and the windows look so nice! For the isomalt really silicone mats work best, but spraying oil on parchment or even just a smooth cookie sheet should also work fine!

[@nickeltek]

I just tried this out so can report some results. With the water/isomalt ratios suggested in the video (1/2 cup isomalt to 1 tbsp water), you can get a good release with aluminum foil, with parchment paper or with parchment paper sprayed with oil. Foil, assuming you manage to unroll it perfectly flat, gives the clearest window of the three. The parchment paper with no oil gives you a matte/slightly frosted finish, and with oil it'll be clear but you'll get bubbles and waves like old timey window glass.

[@BrittneeKay]

Awesome, thanks for sharing your findings!! 😃@@nickeltek

[@Dolcevita_bakes]

Curious why the added water to the isomalt ? I never add water. Does it do something to it?

[@BrittneeKay]

I followed the heating instruction ratio for my specific brand on the back of the package. If no water works for you then I say that is totally ok! For me I like it because it is a bit thinner once it's melted and easier to use...but also if you add too much it will keep it from setting up hard!

[@theutahbuck]

What's your annual gold leafing budget?

[@BrittneeKay]

😳 THAT is a good question!!! 🤣

[@nsvaluto48328]

How much based on you ratio can I get with a lb of chrysalis?

[@BrittneeKay]

I'm sorry I'm not sure how many cups of isomalt is equivalent to 1 lb. You'd have to measure it out and calculate the amount of water needed!
